Navigation Components for Help Center (Table of Contents, Sidebar navigation, Prev Next Buttons)

Table of Contents

The Table of Contents (TOC) helps to easily jump between headings inside the article.

The TOC scans all H2 headings in the article and gathers them into an article outline. You can find it in the right sidebar.

Click any heading in the list and you'll be taken to the corresponding heading in the article.

Also, as you scroll through the article, the table of contents will highlight the heading that you are reading.

Prev Next Buttons

When enabled, users will see the Prev and Next buttons at the bottom of the article. Under each button, they will also see the name of the corresponding article, so that they know what it's about.
